1. Rapid Takeoff: The homeowner uploaded century-old hand-drawn plans. CountBricks AI converted them to digital vectors, completing measurements in under five minutes.
2. Moisture Mitigation: Our crew installed an uncoupling membrane rated for vapor diffusion, protecting the historical pier-and-beam structure.
3. Heritage Detailing: We duplicated the original border pattern using water-jet-cut accent tiles, preserving architectural authenticity.
4. Smart Inspection: After grouting, our QA lead scanned the floor with a LiDAR-enabled tablet. The system flagged three joints outside tolerance, corrected before hand-off.
The homeowner reported a 4 °F drop in perceived room temperature during summer afternoons and listed the property 18 months later with a 12 % higher appraisal value attributed partly to the handcrafted ceramic flooring.
• Select membrane systems that allow bi-directional vapor release for older homes.
